Well out of respect here`s the funeral;  The 'architect of punk rock' Malcolm McLaren was given a suitably flamboyant send-off today in a coffin emblazoned with the words: 'Too fast to live, too young to die.'  His funeral cortege, led by a horse-drawn carriage, paraded through the what has become the spiritual home of the punk movement, Camden in north-west London, in front of thousands of people. The slogan was the name of McLaren's shop on King's Road, before it was renamed 'Sex'. A green double-decker bus, with 'Nowhere' as the destination, was also parked outside the church, St Mary Magdalene's in central London.  On the side of the bus was written 'cash from chaos' - one of McLaren's favourite slogans and a lyric from The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Swindle by the Sex Pistols, the band he managed which that propelled the 1970s punk revolution. Mourners included Sir Bob Geldof, 80s pop star Adam Ant, artist Tracey Emin and McLaren's partner Young Kim. Dame Vivienne Westwood, McLaren's former partner, was joined for the funeral by the couple's son - Joseph Corre - and his stepson Ben Westwood. She addressed the congregation during the service, recalling how they had met through her brother, and how he had helped her make jewellery for her market stall.

Cook was in the very first incarnation of the band, when they went under the name 'The Strand' in 1972. When they asked McLaren for help in 1975, the band was re-named and a movement was born  Back in the day: Left to right, Sex Pistols manager Malcolm Maclaren, Steve Jones, Johnny Rotten (John Lydon), Glen Matlock and Paul Co ------------------- |

Coolness! What a funeral! He had a good send off. Nice to see what the punk generation's funerals will be looking like.
